Why is queer experimental film and performance art so hard to fund? For the very reasons why we love it so much! Because it's edgy. It pushes boundaries. It crosses lines and challenges norms. Sometimes it's sexually charged, and often it's politically controversial.

But for 23 years, MIX has been pulling off one of the hottest, most dynamic, avant-garde film festivals that NYC has ever known. That's a long time for a DIY arts organization to survive. Plus, to do it without corporate money and, for the most part, major philanthropic support is downright miraculous.

In these conservative financial times it's even more imperative that individuals like you—people who value the importance of completely original, completely queer and completely uncompromised experimental art—step forward to support the cutting-edge.

MIX NYC promotes, produces and preserves experimental media that is rooted in the lives, politics, and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and otherwise queer-identified people. MIX's work challenges mainstream notions of gender and sexuality while also upending traditional categories of form and content.

About Me

I believe in the possibility of a more humane world and lasting global peace—the end of armed conflict between Earth's many nations and tribes. Such a world can be realized through shared intentionality and a commonly-held reverence for one another's inherent dignity as human beings.

There are many obstacles we must overcome together in order to achieve peace. Universal adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is still necessary—hello USA?—along with abolition of the death penalty, a total de-privatization of prisons, sustainable energy reform, increased environmental protections, more rigorous separation of church and state, and free universal health-care—not just so-called health-insurance reform.
